Stuart, c1935
Stuart, c1935. Tartan is a pattern consisting of horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Originally these were simply different regional checked-cloth patterns, chosen by the wearers preference without particular reference to propriety. In the mid-nineteenth century, however, many patterns were created and artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, or institutions. Tartans originated in woven wool, but are now made in many other materials in hundreds of patterns. Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. Tartan is often called plaid in North America. Illustration from a book on Scottish tartans, published c1935

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Stuart, a Scottish gentleman from the 1930s. Dressed in traditional attire, Stuart proudly displays his tartan patterned kilt, which is synonymous with Scottish culture. Tartan patterns are characterized by their horizontal and vertical bands of multiple colors, originally representing different regional checked-cloth designs chosen based on personal preference rather than propriety. During the mid-nineteenth century, numerous tartan patterns were created and artificially associated with specific Scottish clans, families, or institutions. What began as woven wool fabric has now evolved into hundreds of patterns made from various materials. However, it is worth noting that tartans are often referred to as plaids in North America. This particular illustration originates from a book dedicated to Scottish tartans published around 1935. It beautifully captures the essence of Scotland's rich textile heritage while providing insight into typical clothing choices during this era. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we cannot help but appreciate the cultural significance embedded within each thread of Stuart's kilt. It serves as a reminder of Scotland's proud traditions and its people's enduring connection to their ancestral roots.
